Saul Bass opening sequence

In the opening sequence for catch me if you can the music connotes a chase or an adventure, it is quite mysterious and there is the use of trumpets to try and create the theme of an adventure. The music is quite repetative but there are some slight variations in it for example when the stairs appear the music gets higher and then an the taxi's appear it gets slower, it sometimes gets lower in parts aswell, to give the idea that the chase is still going on. The colours used are all very bright, mainly made up of blues and yellows to show that the film is not a horror or thriller genre it is more of an adventure theme. The images are of animated characters mainly a man being followed and trying to hide. The mans appearance keeps changing so that he can sneak off and disappear from the person that it trying to catch up with him. The graphics used for the films title "catch me if you can" are all in black apart from the word me which resembles a white cloud which then begins to float of, this connotes that the man in the film is always 'floating away' and dissapearing. The graphics make up many different scenes e.g the swimming pool, the taxi's and the plane to show the different ways in which the character keeps excaping in the title sequence. The title sequence is very good at showing the audience what the film is going to be like and what it is about e.g the chase. The audience are also able to tell from the title sequence what type of genre it is due to the images and music, in effect the title sequence is short preview of what is to come in the film.
